Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 JAI GURUDEV Mantra: Hleem Dhoom Hleem The Bagalamukhi - Dhoomavati combo is an extremely powerful mantra. It's quick and destroys all you adversaries in a blink of an eye. Be it powerty, misfortune, ailment, curse or permanant failure; nothing can withstand the sheer force of this mantra. For those who are not aware, Bagalamukhi and Dhoomavati are the most fierce and feared of the ten Mahavidyas (Of course, Chhinnamasta Mahavidya is also there). I learnt this combo during the Bhopal shivir in November '97. Although, it is not allowed, I would like to share an experience related to this mantra. On the first day of Nov '97 Bhopal shivir, something prompted me to fast. This was difficult for me as I was not feeling well that day. I had gone there to meet Bade Guruji, Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali; but, due to some reason, Kailash Guruji (Bade Guruji's second son) came in his place. Maybe, I was not happy with this. My condition kept worsening and till evening, fever got over me. The shivir was in a ground divided into a big tent, where guruji and sadhaks were sitting, and some sheds along with the boundaries of the ground where sadhaks were supposed to sleep in the night. I preferred to stay in a hotel. It was a two day shivir and that day's session was to end at 10 PM; but, because of my fever, I decided to leave at 7 PM. As I was packing my things, Kailash Guruji anounced that he would grant Bagalamukhi Mahavidya Diksha for a very low fee. I wanted to take that diksha so I decided to stay. Perhaps, I was skeptic about the money thing. Well, though I could barely walk, I reached the payment counter. I wanted to hurry up, but no one was there. I stayed there for a while and then, while thinking this wasn't my day, as I turned to return, I heard a strange, heavy voice, "What do you want?". It was a very fat, black and somewhat weird guy. "Bagalamukhi Diksha", I replied. "Hummm...", he grunted and while chewing his tobacco, wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it over to me. The word "Bagalamukhi" was written on it along with a small signature. When I gave him the money, he said, "Keep it, you'll need it." and walked away. "Bagalamukhi Diksha for free???", I was surprised, "That's cool." Well, not really. My temperature was still rising. I re-entered the main tent, walked straight to Shrivastavji and gave him the paper to ask him how to proceed. Guruji was not there. He starred the paper for while and looked at me in a surprised manner. "What?", I thought, "Has the guy made a fool of me?" Anyway, Shrivastavji gave me this mantra and asked me to chant it till Guruji returns. I returned to my place and started chanting the mantra. In about 10 minutes, the whole scene changed suddenly. I was in a crematory on the banks of a river sitting over a chita surrounded by giant sized trees. I got frightened and opened my eyes. "Hallucinations!!!" Anyway, I started again and yes, the scene, too, returned. This time lightening struck the chita and it started burning wildly. "Help", as I was about to stop again, something inside me ordered me to continue. With every mantra, the flames grew taller and bigger; the temparature was beyond reason and I felt like roasted meat. No matter how this may sound, I was enjoying it. There was heat and there was pleasure. Being cooked alive wasn't that bad, after all. After a while, the scene flipped back to normal, Guruji had returned, the queue moved on and now, it was my turn. I handed over the paper to Shastriji who was standing next to Guruji making him surprised and stood face-to-face with Kailash Guruji. "Guruji, I'm taller.", I thought. Kailash Guruji placed his left hand on my right shoulder, fingers of his right hand on my head and pressed his right thumb against my forehead and "Whooosh...", something like molten iron entered my forehead. I was supposed to concentrate on his eyes. I tried to do just that but, instead, found two fireballs there and no prices for guessing that, we were back in the crematory standing over the blazing chita. This time the heat was much, much higher and the guy from the payment counter was also there violently throwing something into the chita. "Who is this guy?" and the next moment I saw him getting morphed into Bade Guruji. "Guruji!!! Oh, I missed you so much." Bade Guruji appeared dark and redish and when I turned to Kailash Guruji, who was still in the process of granting Diksha, I was shocked to find him much taller, bigger, muscular, darker and redder. Next, something emerged from his forehead and entered mine with a huge blast and we were back to normal. I was amazed. Kailash Guruji was tapping my head and asking me to leave as he was done. I tried to touch his feet but couldn't as it was not allowed at that time. I came down the stage and realized that along with my doubts, my fever was gone. I was feeling healthier, stronger, taller and very hungry. I was feeling like the most powerful man in the universe. I didn't want to return, but I did reliving those moments again and again with wildly growing hunger. I entered a veg restaurent and ate and ate and ate till the manager stopped me and said they can't serve anymore. I had eaten 36 big butter nans, 7 big plates of fried rice and a lot of dal makhani and vegetable along with 19 glasses of lassi. Normally, I couldn't have eaten more than 4 nans. The bill was exactly the same amount which I was supposed to pay for the Bagalamukhi Diksha. Remember, I was told I would need that money. I returned to my hotel room and my luckiest day ended with a sound sleep. The next day, I was the most energetic and helping person in the shivir. That's why my blood boils when some damn person insults my Guruji and I couldn't even have the luxury of tearing that person into billions of pieces. Bhakti is good, but nothing compared to the grandness of sadhana. Perform sadhana and get what you are destined to have. Good luck... Ashish...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2002 Report Share Posted June 13, 2002 JAI GURUDEV > You are so lucky to have experienced such bliss. Yes, I am lucky not because I had this experience, but because I am a disciple of the most powerful Guru of all times. This way, we all are very, very lucky. A good Guru is always there to listen to us, but to listen to him and understand his instructions, we must perform sadhana. Only then our luck would be of any use to us. Either small or big, we all should perform sadhanas. More on it later... Ashish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2002 Report Share Posted June 14, 2002 JAI GURUDEV > This person must be bade Gurudev Of course, he was. > that was a very consdierate and caring Gurudev. Yes. > ashish everything has its own value, for surdas/kabir they > would have not been interested in any sadhanas , so there is > nothing wrong in bhakti or sadhanas its ones personal choice. I must point out that I am not against Bhakti at all. Now, you are forgetting a very important name here; that of Guru Nanakdev whose disciples, Sikhs - The Worriors, later saved Hinduism from muslims using their might, not singing bhajans. Once, I read somewhere Guruji telling that these great people were great sadhaks. Still, why did they teach bhakti? Guruji explained why. He told (I don't remember when), at that time, muslim raiders had cripled this country and converted a lot of hindus into muslims. Hinduism was on the verge of extinction. People were incapable of performing sadhanas. Therefore, in order to save people's faith, morale and religion, those great men showed them the path of Bhakti as it was the only suitable thing for that age which is also called 'Bhakti Kaal'. But, we no longer live in the Bhakti Kaal. That time is gone. Bhakti is no longer applicable as it is obsolete. This is a different age which requires the powers of sadhanas once again as they hold the key to the knowledge that once made India the Vishwa Guru (the global teacher). This country needs sadhaks, not bhaktas, perticularly now. If it hadn't been the case, why did our Guruji, Dr. Narayan Dutt Shtimali, devoted his entire life to sadhanas, mantras, tantras and other ancient indian sciences? Why did he re-invent long lost sadhanas like Parkaaya Pravesh sadhana and Veer Vetaal sadhana summoning Adi Shankaracharya's soul? Why did he give us fierce Mahavidya Dikshas for free? Why did he start a magazine called 'Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan' and not 'Bhakti Sagar'? Why did he start 'International Siddhashram Sadhak Parivar' and not 'International Bhakta Parivar'? There can be one and only one answer to all these questions: HE WANTED US TO PERFORM SADHANAS. HE WANTED US TO BE SADHAKS NOT BHAKTAS. This group's name is ISSPLIST which means Internation Siddhashram SADHAK Parivar LIST. It is about Sadhaks and Sadhanas. Bhakti has to do nothing with this group. Go visit Guruji official website www.siddhashram.org and you'll find out what the Greatest Guru of all times, Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali aka Paramhansa Swami Nikhileshwaranand, wanted his disciples to be. > in bhakti the psyche of the person should be more of submission > and not wanting anything except the lord ,which is not an easy > thing, but for sadhanas you have your free will you want > everything except the lord at the start I totally disagree. Sadhana means 'training'; training the body, the mind, the soul and becoming one with mother nature, Paramatma - the one and only. Sadhana is about being capable enough to control the powers of mother nature and getting everything from it. Sadhanas require great deal of self-control and years of hard work. A sadhak has to bear a lot of pain. It is not about free will, it is about freeing will. Foresaking your desires and making the mind empty can't be termed as mere selfishness. On the other hand, today's bhaktas (which does not include those of the Bhakti Kaal), who talk of love and submission, simply sit back singing Bhajans and leave everything to god / guru. They say, "Oh my lord! I submit myself to you. Now, you'll have to do EVERYTHING for me while I'll relax and sing songs of your divinity. Oh lord, you are so full of mercy, I know, you'll fulfill all my desires in no time." And when they don't get all what they wanted, they simply declared the god / guru fake, drunk, greedy and insult him. I am sure, Guruji never wanted us to be of that kind. Bhakti can only show us the path whereas sadhana not only shows the path but, also teaches us how to cruise along it to reach our destination. > there can be lakhs of sadhaks doing l000's of sadhanas but > you cant have lakhs of bhaktas. Really??? How can you be so sure? Are you referring to real, serious sadhaks who have a real guru? > see sankarcharya had composed /written lot of stotras(bhakti). > sadhanas/or meditation/.... Please, leave strotras and meditation alone. They have to do nothing with bhakti. They are very scientific and just another form of sadhana. I hope, I made my point. Once again, I must clarify, I am NOT against Bhakti or Bhaktas. I feel, sadhanas are more effective and are the need of this time. They may not be as easy as bhakti, but they do make us better persons and help us reach our goals faster, in a more effecient manner. So, do perform sadhana. Good luck... Ashish...

This is an effort to tell the world that sadhanas work although Guruji used to say that such experiences are negligible on the path of Tantra and a good disciple should ignore them. All we need is an able Guru. Certainly, we are lucky because Guruji has accepted us as his disciples. This is an achievement of a lifetime. May Guruji bless us all with completeness. Ashish...

Sadhana according to Gurudev is transforming ones mind,body,personality to a goal in complete dedication. so bhakti is a sadhna of just Lord himself and none else, and others Mantra and tantra sadhanas also have different goals but one needs compelete effort to get a result(leave alone Gurudevs grace) i understand as to what you say, and what Gurudev said. ashsish Gurudev is a multifaceted pesonality like krishna, you have been ignited by the perspective of tantra /mantra sadhanas i have been ignited by the love aspect of Gurudev, before knowing Gurudev i never understood what love is nor i was interested in it, only after coming in contact with Gurudev i have been given a taste of it, and one who tastes that would never ever ones to taste anything other than that, one has to have bhavana and chintan while reciting the mantra at least true for Guru mantra,rest i dont know, and to me having bhavana and chintan is no different state from the bhkatas state. what you see from your perspective is true,and what i see from my perspective is true, it is gurudevs greatness that he was able to inspire such a different thinking persons equally. all forms of yogas should end in love and love alone.otherwise there is no meaning to life. and its not easy to generate love on its own, either it comes with the contact of a Guru or from previous births. what you told is also true, we need to do mantra and tantra sadhanas, Gurudev also told that, but Gurudev also told that one should become GURUMY to me it cannont happen without bhavana ,and ones you are talking of bhavana its no different from bhakti(devotion). read sadhana siddhi and saphalata chapeter in Gurudevs book "dhyan dharana and samadhi". iam talking of a later state of mind and you are talking of the earlier state of mind. > So, do perform sadhana. sadhana is a more general term, as long as one dosent become sadhak he dosent attain a goal, a sadhak is not defined by a mantra or a tantra,any one who has a spritual goal and offers himself to attain that goal is a sadhak and then only its called a sadhana.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2002 Report Share Posted June 15, 2002 JAI GURUDEV > iam talking of a later state of mind and you are talking of the > earlier state of mind. Yes, this is very much possible, but why didn't you explain these using your later state of mind? I quote once again: ################################ Why did our Guruji, Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali, devoted his entire life to sadhanas, mantras, tantras and other ancient indian sciences? Why did he re-invent long lost sadhanas like Parkaaya Pravesh sadhana and Veer Vetaal sadhana summoning Adi Shankaracharya's soul? Why did he give us fierce Mahavidya Dikshas for free? Why did he start a magazine called 'Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan' and not 'Bhakti Sagar'? Why did he start 'International Siddhashram Sadhak Parivar' and not 'International Bhakta Parivar'? ################################ I hope, you are not saying that Guruji intentionally wanted to limit most of his disciples to the 'earlier' state of mind and elevate only a chosen few to the 'later' state of mind while he promised everyone completeness. > one has to have bhavana and chintan while reciting the mantra > at least true for Guru mantra,rest i dont know, and to me having > bhavana and chintan is no different state from the bhkatas state. 'Chintan', as far as I know, means thinking and according to Guruji, no matter which mantra you recite, your primary objective is to control & even stop your thoughts. I feel, you are loosing track. By responding abruptly, you are denying Guruji himself. > so bhakti is a sadhna of just Lord himself and none else. There are billions of mantras, tantras, gods and deities; but, according to Guruji's book 'Mantra Rahasya', they all lead us to one destination by making us complete. Anyway, from what I could understand here, you are a Bhakta performing sadhana of just your Lord. May I ask who is your Lord? Correct me if I'm wrong, I guess, your Lord is the one whom I call Guruji. If my assumption is correct then let's see what my Guruji and your Lord has to say on this matter. I quote once again Guruji's own words from a page of his official website. ################################ ( From www.siddhashram.org/a20010137.shtml) "Your birth is no ordinary event. The Lord has brought you into this world with a special purpose." "But blind faith won't lead you to that goal. Just be repeating Ram, Ram you won't achieve such heights. Just by singing hymns you won't become immortal, just by beating drums and cymbals you won't be able to make the entire universe your home." "Totality, completeness and the highest level of success in spiritual world CAN BE ATTAINED ONLY BY FOLLOWING THE PATH OF SADHANAS. This is the real goal of your life" "But for this you have to face challenges and stand up against all odds. You should have an intensity in your eyes, a determination on your face. And this shall happen when you have the WEAPON OF SADHANAS in your possession." "You sure can do all this because you have A POWERFUL GURU WHO POSSESSES THE POWER OF SADHANAS TO GUIDE YOU." "All this is possible only through the medium of SADHANAS." ################################ As you can see, my Guruji and, presumably, your Lord is recommending Sadhanas; not just the sadhana of one Lord, but all sorts of sadhanas. You may still remember that he dedicated the best years of his life researching and re-establishing sadhanas; not just the sadhana of one Lord, but all sorts of sadhanas. > i understand as to what you say, and what Gurudev said. I don't think you did. My Guruji, as you can read above, wanted us to perform sadhana. Every disciple of Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali is expected to perform sadhana; but, many of them didn't due to some misconceptions, confusions or lack of interest. I am trying to obey my Guru's order by trying to clear misconceptions and confusions; and generate some interest for sadhanas. I am trying to help those disciples of my Guru make their lives better. And trust me, this won't make me the richest person on earth. You, on the other hand, are jeopardizing all my efforts by denying your own Guru who happens to be my Guru too. You are making situation worse for those who are already very confused and think that sadhanas can help them. You are telling them quite the opposite. You say Bhakti is a higher state of mind and clearly, you are progating yourself as a Bhakta. In other words, you are saying, unintentionally of course, that your level is higher than those who perform sadhana. But, as you saw earlier, Guruji himself is advocating sadhanas. I am sure, you wouldn't like anyone to think that you are higher than your Guru, would you? > > So, do perform sadhana. > > sadhana is a more general term, as long as one dosent become > sadhak he dosent attain a goal, a sadhak is not defined by a > mantra or a tantra,any one who has a spritual goal and offers > himself to attain that goal is a sadhak and then only its called > a sadhana. So what do you suggest? What should we do? Birendra, this discussion is no longer healthy as it is creating more confusions rather than lessening them and I fear, if some of our 'secret admirers' decide to jump in, this may turn into an unpleasant confrontation. Something we must avoid. I am sure, you would agree. So, let's pack this thing up and move on towards other topics. Thanks for giving my mind a good workout. Have a nice day... Ashish...

Ashsish, iam not undermining anyones effort, Gurudev wanted us to do sadhnas for sure, but what i meant of early state of mind or later state of mind is the early state is that of a "SADHAK", where Guru is not established in his heart, or its in the process of establishing and when i meant later state i was talking of "DISCIPLE" and when there is Gurudev in your heart then only a person to me is a complete disciple, taking Guru diksha dosent make us a disciple,but by Giving guru deeksha lord is accepting the responsibilty of taking the person to the destination of life, but that dosent mean that one has become a disciple, disciple happens at the later stage of life. gurudev always watned us to be dual natured both hard and soft, you were empahsising the hard part , i was doing the soft part. here are few quotes by Gurudev 1)"A disciple can get closer to the Guru only by thinking like a woman i.e. with one's heart. By activating the feelings of the heart he can become fully conscious. Then he has only one aim, one thought, one goal in life and this is to make the Guru a part of his heart and soul so that each cell of his body could vibrate with the Guru energy. " 2)" Establishing of the Guru energy in each cell of one's body is possible only through the medium of true love. " from http://www.siddhashram.org/q200012.shtml 3)If there is love in your heart and if you try Sadhanas, you shall realise that each Sadhana has become very easy for you. Then success in Sadhanas shall become the basis of your life. http://www.siddhashram.org/q200105.shtml we both are talking of 2 different things.and it has nothing to do with 'bhakta parivar' i was using love/devotion and bhakta synonymously. you are making an effort to get people intereted in sadhanas , i making an effort make those sadhanas enjoyable rather than being mechanical stuff. we will terminate this discussion here Jai Gurudev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, that's correct. But till now, the discussion appeared to be on 'Whether Sadhana or Love'. Yes, 'Sadhana with Love' is surely divine. > you are making an effort to get people intereted in sadhanas, > i making an effort make those sadhanas enjoyable rather than > being mechanical stuff. Then, you never actually performed sadhana. Who told you that sadhanas are 'mechanical stuff'? Sadhanas contain divine pleasure, something totally different from any other form of pleasure. It's intense, yet tender; painful, yet soothing; hard, yet very soft. No words can describe the pleasure of performing sadhanas. Try some, you might like it. > we will terminate this discussion here Of course, we will. Thanks. Ashish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
